How crazy can weapons get?

[Adeacia]

Like for example the evolved guns. Is it possible to limit break them so much that they spin like a fan or just have them so big that they fill the entire screen? How about an evolved axe so big that each one fills the screen?

Just how far can limit break take things?

Between eggs and limit break, you can fill the entire screen and one shot enemies.

Here are a few of my screenshots of various limit break weapons. I am sure there are more extreme examples, but this might get you started.

Gains with Heaven Sword It is probably a little hard to tell, but that grey/brown/pink blocky mess in the background is a single Heaven Sword projectile.

TBH, it is a fun mechanic without eggs or using the new arcana (that increases growth). But with eggs / new arcana, the weapons can get really big or flashy to the point that it is really hard to see anything. Some of the weapons are a real eye sore when they take up the entire screen.

With that said, once you unlock 100 things you can limit your weapons to 1, which makes limit break more noticeable on that weapon. Another strat is to use 2 weapons, your main weapon and laurel since laurel doesn't have any limit break effects, giving you some invulnerability if your first weapon takes some time to become powerful or evolve.

I have tried all weapons (basic and evolved) using the latter strategy on a 5k egg character (for fun). Most of the weapons are fun, but there are a few that suck regardless of how many eggs/limit break levels you have: the dragon 3 rings weapon, cherry bomb (♥♥♥♥ tends to fly off the side of the screen, thus never explode), minecart (it is fun until it gets too big, than it is a pain) and unevolved fire wand. My favourites are normal santa's water (massive aoe potential, like several screens worth, lol); normal lightning ring; normal bible with huge area (it has a maximum radius around the character, but each bible itself grows in size); evolved guns with projectile speed; evolved axe; normal runetracer (with projectile speed and duration) and either version of song of mana (duration and area).

This is exactly what I was hoping for. My issue is that the runs always end before I can get anywhere near that kind of thing. Darn the 30 minute timer. Of course that just means I need more eggs. I have most of the stuff in the game unlocked already, just gotta grind.

On those shots I posted there, the highest egged character is Pugnala, she has a grand total of 18 eggs.

It is not eggs that you need, but more curse.

I only run with about 20% curse from power ups, but I do add Toronna's Box and the curse from that alone gives you way more enemies to kill, which means more XP gems, which equates to more limit break levels for your chosen weapon.

Yeah they can go crazy, especially if you keep manualy adding +1 projectile and size, but most of the time I just let it auto :)
All screencaps are charas with single digit golden eggs

This unless you want to play high eggs or powerfull characters only 2 curse points is ideal
Only reason to run 5 is if you have chara with like 500 eggs+ or You play only stuff like Red Death or other champions OP from 0 eggs :)

I did a run with Pugnala on stage 3 with 144 eggs and weapons reduced to 1. Had 50% curse from power up, then in the run grabbed every single item that had curse and maxed it out. My attack was even bigger than the ones in the screenshots here, though I neglected to get a shot myself.

However Red Death still killed me immediately lol

Thank you for the help. You have all helped me get better at the game.
